AMERICAN STUDIES MINOR

The American Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program of study designed to develop in depth knowledge of American Society, past and present.  Drawing its curriculum from approved courses in other departments and its own core courses, the AMST minor weaves traditionally divergent disciplines together so that students gain a broad understanding of American life and culture.  The minor is open to students of all majors.  In order to earn an AMST minor, students must fulfill the requirements listed for the minor.  For more information, please contact the American Studies Director.
